THE FUTURE OF GREEN TRANSIT Sustainability is at the core of the Broadway Subway Project, aligning with British Columbia’s CleanBC initiative. By shifting commuters from personal vehicles to public transit, the project is projected to reduce greenhouse gas emissions by nearly 175,000 tonnes of CO₂ equivalent between 2030 and 2054. In addition to direct emissions reductions, the project has adopted several environmental initiatives. The contractor participates in Vancouver’s Adopt-A-Catch Basin program, keeping neighborhood storm drains clear of debrisand has introduced a Waste-to-Energy program, diverting construction waste from landfills and reducing greenhouse gas emissions. These measures reflect a broader commitment to sustainable infrastructure development. A landmark example is the integration of South Granville Station into a 39-story mixed-use development—the first time in Vancouver’s history that a new SkyTrain station has been incorporated into a newly built high-rise. Similarly, Great Northern Way-Emily Carr Station is expected to anchor future developments. To accommodate future growth, all new station entrances feature "knock-out" panels that allow for seamless integration with upcoming urban projects.
